Ceafi & Dusk

Officially a Neighbor

The morning seemed a little cloudy gray sky, and clouds of mist enveloped all the mountain sightings that were lined up from the north to south end of Magelang City that were visible from the village. The cold morning made people reluctant to rise from their sleep.

Ceafi had opened her pretty blue eyes, but this time she felt a bit cold because it was so cold this morning. For Ceafi this air is not so cold because he is used to the winter that the temperature touches 0 degrees can even be less.

Jose's father was enjoying coffee while watching the news on television. Shortly thereafter Bi Minah came,

" sir! Breakfast is ready, let's have breakfast." Bi Minah slightly bowed and greeted Father Jose with her hands with great respect.

" Oh, yes Bi. I call Ceafi first, ask the others to go to the dinner table first huh. " Jose's father got up and left Bi Minah who also turned away.

" gig! Geck! " The sound of knocking on the door was heard in Ceafi's room.

" Dear wake up! " Jose's father's voice called to Ceafi from the door of the room.

Because there was no answer from Ceafi, Jose's father immediately entered Ceafi's room. It turned out that Ceafi was asleep again due to the cold weather of the cloudy morning. Jose's father rubbed Ceafi's face, and,

" My dear. Let's wake up for breakfast. " Ceafi was only literate for a moment and wriggled lazily.

" Ehh, what's the father's son? The cold here is hotter than Europe? " Jose's father shook the body of Ceafi who would not wake up.

" Hmmm... Ceafi lazy wake up Ayaah. " Ceafi pulled out her blanket again.

" Yes but breakfast first, it's already 7 this time. " Jose's father opened the blanket again.

" Ceafi eats in the room? " Ceafi's eyes pleaded with her effect.

" Not this time, let's wake up spoiled child! " Jose's father took Ceafi's hand and carried her.

" Yeah!!! Ceafi wants to wash his face first, put me down! " Ceafi hit his father's back.

" No, wash your face in the kitchen. I know you'll sleep again if I let go, huh! " Jose's father laughed softly and continued to bring Ceafi into the kitchen.

" Yeah!! " Ceafi screams to make the whole house wonder.

" Already, let's go wash your face and join the table okay!? " Jose's father's pinta who was only replied to frown from Ceafi.

Breakfast Together was started, looks quiet and seemed to all enjoy the dishes cooked by Bi Minah. Today Jose's father wants to invite Ceafi to visit his neighbors after work. And later in the afternoon Bi Minah also plans to invite Ceafi to dinner at her house he said the inauguration of a new neighbor, Bi Minah there is only one.

After breakfast, Ceafi immediately prepares his laptop to start working. Without having to take a shower, he just gave a little lipstick scratches and styled his hair. Just like it is beautiful Ceafi, let alone blue eyeballs that add to the perfection of his face. Yuhuy..!!

Ceafi focused on working today as did Jose's father who also had his own private workspace. Accompanied by a warm tea made by Bi Minah, they looked working spirit despite overcast adorning the sky.

Until the middle of the second day, his father and daughter focused on research projects in Europe that had not yet been completed.

Evening arrived, cloudy did not also rise from the sky that overshadowed the city. Jose's father had finished his work and walked out of the study to approach Ceafi.

" gig! Tok!! " The sound of knocking on the door behind Ceafi's study.

" Come in! Dad is done? " Ceafi asked as soon as Jose's father opened the door and entered.

" Hmmn, already! Ceafi hasn't ya? " Smiling and sitting next to her daughter.

" It's been Ceafi just making a schedule for tomorrow. When does the project start here? I think this job starts immediately so as not to buy time, right? " Ceafi looked at her father asking rather seriously.

" Next week, Prof.Jhon is preparing all his papers, and tomorrow Saturday we are asked to the research office for a meeting. You can still relax no, listen Indo people do not like to be too serious so just relax. " Jose's father stroked Ceafi's face giving her spoiled attention.

" really? But it's not good for the habit, is it 4 hours past us so visit the neighboring house? Let's get ready, Jose's father, I don't want dinner late. " Ceafi pinched Jose's father's nose and ran out laughing satisfied to have succeeded in replying to his father who often pinched the nose of his nose.

" Awass you Little Miss!! " Jose's father snorted in annoyance but his face did not show an angry look. In his heart he was happy to see Ceafi smiling here. He was worried if his daughter kept whining home.

Half an hour later, they were ready to leave the house to go to a neighbor's house. By riding a bike Ceafi and Father Jose went together, while enjoying the twilight that seemed vaguely bright behind the fog. But it still looks beautiful, Jose's father once said that dusk in this place is always different.

Ceafi and Jose's father visited several houses. They are entertained with pleasure by the owner of the house, not infrequently they give food or special food for Ceafi, it is so the habit of the village.

" Jos, your beautiful son yo looks like an ibune. " Said Mr. Tejo, who was a close friend of Jose's father.

" Iyo to, whose son it was. This is my future associate professor, hahaha! " Jose's father patted Ceafi's back a sign praising his daughter.

" Your father is exaggerating, I'm just an ordinary girl. " Say Ceafi with her graceful smile with beautiful glowing blue eyes.

" Yasudah Jo, me and my son say hello first yo, Minah said tell her to go to her house also to eat malem, not good if they wait later. " Jose's father's language suddenly medhok his trademark Wong Jowo.

Ceafi just squinted his eyes to hear his father's logic that felt strange.

" Kok rush to, if again leisure often come maen to the house of Mr yes, Cah Ayu! " Sir Tejo smiled at Ceafi.

Ceafi replied to her with a smile and a nod. Ceafi little does not understand the language because it is mixed with Javanese language that is 100% not mastered.

After saying goodbye, Ceafi and Father Jose rushed to the house of Bi Minah and Pak Slamet. Ceafi was welcomed by the family. Bi Minah's family is quite a lot, there are 8 people who inhabit the house. At 7 pm Bi Minah took Ceafi and Father Jose to dinner. There are many menus presented, chicken gulai, eggs balado, tofu bacem, vegetable nuts, and some vegetables that are very tempting tastes.

Ceafi looked astonished to see this much. For us Indonesians it is common for Cea' to eat heavily every time hehe

Happy Eating!
